HOW ODD THAT MASSACRES MOSTLY HAPPEN IN "GUN-FREE ZONES"! When will the brain-dead Left wake up and draw the obvious conclusion? Gun bans kill kids

FL:Cheap Gun Opportunity Coconut Grove Tomorrow, 20 April

People who have guns they do not want anymore will be allowed to drop them off at the Coconut Grove NET office, at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, 2750 McFarland Road.

The program will operate from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, so you will want to get there early enough to pick out a good spot.

Many broken and junk firearms are turned in at these events, but a fair number of people who inherited decent guns, but do not want to have anything to do with them, show up. There are often some pretty good deals.

Across the country, freedom fighters are showing up at these events, and offering cash for the better specimens. This should be welcomed by event organizers, if their purpose is to "get guns off the streets". This is because such activity stretches the turn in dollars, prevents poor widows from being defrauded of their valuable property for a pittance, and places guns that are not wanted in responsible hands.

Private sales are perfectly legal in Florida, as they are in most states.

Local information would be appreciated, as these events are often held in poor neighborhoods.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/W41mWY ) reports that a federally licensed gun dealer showed up to provide some competition. He bought a dozen weapons for $40 to $100 by standing outside the church with a sign that read “Cash 4 Guns.”

My opinion is that some of the firearms turned in at gun buybacks have been used in crimes. Think about it. The cops buy them from the public with no questions asked, and then they are allegedly destroyed. Of course we all know that the best and most expensive ones wind up in the possession of police officers. And why would somebody surrender a perfectly good weapon for chump change? Because it's a good way to get rid of a hot piece that wasn't yours to begin with. Incriminating evidence gone forever. And the cops will either destroy the heat or keep it for themselves.

Police routinely check guns turned in to see if they have been reported stolen. Those found to be stolen are very few, about 1 percent.

While some criminals may turn in guns for this reason, most criminals want to stay away from the police, because they do not trust them, and for good reason. Several of these turn ins have been advertised to be "no questions asked", only to have very serious questions asked in reality.

I would not hesitate to buy guns privately at such events. Even if I bought a gun that later turned out to be stolen, it would have been purchased in good faith. I would not worry about prosecution for "reception of stolen goods", which requires a reasonable knowledge of wrongdoing.

Background

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” -- Thomas Jefferson

Syndicated columnist Charley Reese (1937-2013): "Gun control by definition affects only honest people. When a politician tells you he wants to forbid you from owning a firearm or force you to get a license, he is telling you he doesn’t trust you. That’s an insult. ... Gun control is not about guns or crime. It is about an elite that fears and despises the common people."

The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles -- Jeff Cooper (1920-2006)

Note for non-American readers: Crime reports from America which describe an offender just as a "teen" or "teenager" almost invariably mean a BLACK teenager.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

Two lines below of a famous hymn that would be incomprehensible to Leftists today ("honor"? "right"? "freedom?" Freedom to agree with them is the only freedom they believe in)

First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean

It is of course the hymn of the USMC -- still today the relentless warriors that they always were.

The intellectual Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) said: "The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."

How much do you know about Trayvon Martin? Did you recognize him in the picture above? If not you may need to know more about him. It's all here (Backups here and here)

After all the serious stuff here, maybe we need a funny picture of a cantankerous cat
